A rust crate for managing multiple consoles from one windows application.
Normaly a program running on windows can only use one console.
A process can be associated with only one console, so the AllocConsole function fails if the calling process already has a console.
From the [microsoft docs].
This crate solves this problem by providing an abstraction over a worker process wich is controlled using named pipes.
You can use the Console class to create a new console, after that
you can write to it or read a line.
```rust use pipedconsole::Console;
let console = Console::new("My Console").expect("Failed to create a new console"); console.println("What is your name?").expect("Failed to call println"); // a seperate console window
let mut name = String::new(); console.read_line(&mut name).expect("Failed to read from the console"); println!("Your name is: {}", name); // main processe's console ```
Download the crate either directly through Cargo or visit [crates.io]. More documentation can be found on [docs.rs].
std::io::Write for console. This means the flush method is now part of that trait.console_worker executable.
It is easier to use and comes with auto detection for the executable.
Note: The documentation on the root page is slightly wrong in this version.
